Jane

Everyone listened in silence as I explained all about my daughter. I also explained that I only knew now that she was alive. I brought with me the copy of the birth certificate that Rossi gave me and gave it to them. Patterson would track and we would all try to find out what might have happened after she was taken from the hospital. I was distressed and nervous and very afraid that something would happen to her if we didn't discover her whereabouts. For the way I made Ellen furious when I left if she found Avery before me, she could disappear with the girl again.

After working all day on it Nas suggested that we take a break, as the load was too heavy for everyone. I went to the locker room to wash my face and when I raised my face from the washbasin and looked through the mirror Kurt was watching me with a not very friendly expression. I was silent waiting for him to speak.

- I think we need to talk. - He spoke harshly.

- Look, Kurt...

- There's nothing like 'look, Kurt'. - He interrupted me angrily. - I did some quick calculations while you were talking and unless you were... Am I her father, Remi? - In the middle of his anger he called me by the name I had already asked not to call.

- I wanted to tell you. - I spoke with tears in my eyes. - I swear I tried...

- I don't remember receiving any calls from you, letters, or messages. I don't remember any of that. - He spoke frustrated. - Quite the opposite. You left because you wanted to. You left me because you didn't have the courage to take over our relationship, you didn't want to face your family. - Now he was crying too. - You were expecting my daughter. I had a right to know.

- I know. Forgive me. I didn't know what to do. - I cried in despair. - One night I called you and... Allie answered and told me that you were together and that I was supposed to leave you alone.

- Allie... - He thought for a minute. - She never told me about that call.

- Of course not, Kurt! She didn't want me between you two and she was right. - I spoke sadly. - I had nothing good to offer you. Just problems and I decided to leave you alone.

- The daughter was also mine. You might not want me by your side, but I had the right to know that you were pregnant, but you denied me that.

- I'm so sorry...

- Look, I'm very angry that you did this, but I really want to help you find her. - He spoke thoughtfully. - I'm her father! Nobody's going to take that away from me.

- Jane, Kurt. - Patterson entered the locker room and looked at us concerned with what she saw. - We found something.

We went back to the lab. Everyone must have noticed the tone of the conversation we just had, because our expressions showed that we were not well. Patterson got some leads and we would continue to track the next day.

- Will you leave with me? - Kurt asked me when he saw me picking up my things to leave.

- No. - I replied. - I'm going with Patterson.

- Look, I know this situation is a little delicate, but my house is open to you.

- Kurt, we already had a lot of emotional charge for one day and I prefer to stay with her until we find Avery.

Natasha

Edgar was waiting for me outside the FBI building. As always he was waiting for me with a smile and gave me a sweet kiss when I approached.

- You can go. I need to do something before and I have to go home. - I said worried.

- I'll take you. - He offered.

- No, Ed. - I denied it. - I want to go alone.

- What's going on, Natasha? - He asked suspiciously. - You were inattentive all day!

- It's nothing. Just let me do it alone. Please! – I begged.

- Okay. - He agreed. - Come here. - He pulled me and hugged me. - Tasha. You know you can say anything to me. Anything at all. I will be here always. - He said caressing my face. - Go there and do what you need to do and call me when you get home, okay?

- OK. I love you, Ed. - I kissed him and left.

What I needed to do was no big deal, I mean, it was, but I didn't want to worry you if it was just a paranoia in my head. I went where I needed to and went home. Hopefully the girls were gone and I could be alone for a while. I took a long shower in an attempt to postpone the unavoidable, because I needed to do that today, I needed to be sure.

After the shower I did what I needed and got dressed. I went back to check it out, because I was already distressed. My suspicions were confirmed. I sat down on the bathroom floor and burst into tears, crying in despair for almost half an hour. Since I lost my grandmother, I never wanted her so much by my side as at that moment. After a while I got up, took my bag and went out into the dark night.

Kurt

I still couldn't believe I had a daughter. And I believed even less that Jane hid it from me. Okay, I may not have made it easy, but I had the right to know. Now to know that I have a daughter and that no one knows where she is. I wonder how Jane is feeling, as she lived the loss up close and now knows that the girl is alive. I wanted to do everything to find her.

It was already late and I was drinking a beer lost in those thoughts when the phone rang.

- Kurt. - I heard Jane's distressed voice from the other side. - Patterson found something ... You need to come.

Edgar

I was a little worried about Natasha. I felt like she wasn't doing well all day, but she didn't want to tell me what was worrying her. I confess that I still feel a little insecure about us. But it must be just my paranoia for everything that has happened in the past.

After I got home I wanted to call to see if she was okay, but I decided to wait a while to make room for her. When I decided to call it was after eight o'clock and her phone was off. I left a message in the message box "My love, I'm worried. Call me". Now, I was even more worried. I was almost calling one of the girls who shared the apartment with her when I heard a knock on the door.

- Tasha? - I speak when I open the door and come across the reason for my concerns.

She had red eyes and a little messy hair. But beauty was present even with the distress that was behind it. She threw herself into my arms and I took her in a tight hug that only we knew how much we needed at that moment. I closed my eyes and dipped in the scent of her hair. Being like this with her made all my worries go and there was only the two of us in the world.

- What happened? - I asked still holding her. - I was very worried about you.

- Reade... I. - She looked at me and this time the tears rolled down her face and I wanted to wipe and remove all the sadness that afflicted her. She was my girl and I loved her so much that I wanted her pain to be mine. She blew out a long breath before speaking. - I'm pregnant.
